Ferni...I remember from the last round and the vid that jack posted up that he had his IR receiver on the passenger side door which would suggest that the transmitter is on the other side.

You would've got your lap timer by now so you might be able to clarify this but all you need for the transmitter is a power source right? Either way I have no option but to have it on the drivers side due to the cable length.

Yeah, snowy is going to extend them... It didn't even occur to me they would be for bikes, i bet if we told them it was for a car we would of got the longer one.. o well i'm sure snowy will figure it out, working for a cable and wire company and all :O

As for the transmitter, yeah just 8 AA batteries inside, or 12v external powersource from somewhere... not sure what they usually use? Would AA batteries last all day? I guess so.

Shit, i need tyres, brake pads and need to do something about the gearbox spewing out fluid at high speed. Shocks are still sitting on the docks of Kobe >_<

So this will be the last time i drive the car with the Bislteins for a while. With new tyres and pads i may wind the boost up and see how low into the 1:22s i can go. There is a 1:21 in it but i dont know if i can put that good a lap together without ironing out the suspension better. But i have been watching my vids carefully and know i am losing time when i spin off and hit walls :laugh:

HAAAAA ! :laughing-smiley-014: Gold dude, GOLD ! I think I nearly pooped my pants laughing just then, at least You've got a sense'O humour about it eh?

WHY would people go and schedule motorsports events on the long weekend? Don't they know I've got an engagement party, and mates-back-up-home reunion thing happening ? ? I wanted to go car-whore at Phillip Island for the Vic champs too, Gee-Gosh I like those sports sedans! >_<

Have fun guys, I'm out.. >_<

I haven't taken time off for almost 3 years so I'm going away for the weekend...

Looks like Aaron will take this one, unless Snowy or Scotsman pull something out of the hat!!!!

Troy, don't push for that 1:21, it may be out of reach for the time being...

If i front the 2.5k for tyres, pads and fuel....i will be trying my little heart out. I will be happy with a few laps in the 1:22s, but i need just one lap where i get into the 21s. If i grab 3rd through turn 1. 4th up to Dandenong. And use max revs i think the car can do it >_< Its just that the car is a drift machine when i use those gears...hopefully there may be a little truth to the poor rear grip and gearbox fluid thing and i may find some of the lost grip????

Not having a serious go at you Hardman but that's the softest excuse for not attending a motorsport day I have ever heard.

There are only 2 excuses accepted by your peers and they are:

1. My car is broken.

2. I have to attend my own funeral.

Soft.

As for scheduling over a long weekend, we take what we can get.

Haha, gotta pay that.. . . it's totally Valid!

My car is broken though. (will be going wednesday I hope, shall report on stainless exhaust manifold's usefulness)

How's the Commondore trukin' on Budge? I've got a VH awaiting V6 transplant completion in the backyard.. . . :/

Awesome Snowie....if you can do mine at the same time that would be great....just let me know when and where :/

Ferni....I didn't have a close look....if thats the case why can't we set one up on the drivers side of the circuit and just run the IR receiver to point through the drivers side window?

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
